Well, it's a good thing we don't know anyone that has ANY illegal copies of MP3 that they downloaded off Napster or got from their friends rather than purchasing the CD. Yep, that is sooo terrible that those mean music companies are going overboard trying to protect their intellectual property. Bullies.
i never did steal music, nor will i associate with a person who would sink to such a low level
I agree, they have every right to protect their IP. But, don't I have every right to listen to a CD I purchase in whatever format I want to? Especially if I purchase the CD expecting to be able to convert it to a specific format. They are releasing these protected CDs quietly, meaning, there's no indication on the packaging that you won't be able to make digital copies of the CD. So, essentialy, you end up purchasing a "broken" CD.
yup!
